Trenton fire damages garage, restaurant

TRENTON — A fire in Chambersburg damaged a garage and reached a restaurant before being brought under control Monday morning, officials said.

Firefighters went to the 800 block of South Clinton Avenue around 3:45 a.m., initially on a report of a car fire. The vehicle was founding burning inside a garage next to a house and the entire garage was on fire, Battalion Chief Peter Fiabane said.

Firefighters climbed on top of the garage and opened the roof for the flames to ventilate, and forced their way inside the El Conquistador restaurant next door to see if the blaze had spread. They extinguished the fire within half an hour, Fiabane said.

No injuries were reported, and damage to the restaurant was said to be minor.
